We Come Alive - The Stunning

Musicians are like oxygen for one another - together they come alive. The Stunning, one of Ireland’s best-known bands, have worked, rested and played together for more than 30 years. The band today are the same five lads who first came together in Galway in 1987. They are a testament to longevity and friendship in these fast-paced times where success can be a flash in the pan, measured by virtual followers and social media metrics.

This live performance concert with insightful contributions from the band members raises questions about the meaning of success through the earned wisdom of a band with a loyal, predominantly Irish fanbase. It's a celebration of the joy of making music with great fellow musicians - something that often gets lost in a music business that is all about vying for attention on an ever-scrolling list.
